3 keys for Michigan State

Stop transition

This game will feature two much more similar teams than did the Michigan State-Miami matchup. Both have lost some size to injury, and both like to get out and run. Michigan State (20-14), in particular, is as good as any program at finding open 3s on the break — but it must make sure to cut off the Jayhawks (29-4) from those same opportunities. Whichever team does the best job at getting back on defense after missed shots and protecting the basket will put itself in position to win.

Contain Frank Mason III

Tum Tum Nairn has been Michigan State’s best option defensively at point guard … but Cassius Winston just brings another element offensively. The Spartans need Winston on the floor as much as possible. The question becomes whether he can stick with Mason, Kansas’ National Player of the Year candidate. Mason can create for himself and others, and he’s got one of the most lethal strokes in the country at 48.4-percent shooting from deep.

Stay out of foul trouble

Izzo has been ribbing freshman big man Nick Ward publicly since Friday night about picking up his first foul 2 seconds into the game against the Hurricanes. He actually said during his Saturday news conference that he’s considering not starting Ward. Regardless of whether he’s out there at the tip, Michigan State will need Ward to stay on the floor as long as possible. His craftiness around the rim will give the Spartans a chance to have an edge down low, a rare occurrence this season given the team’s lack of depth due to injuries.
